elliemurasakiI have 524 works archived at AO3. Pick a number from 1 (the most recent) (the first thing I posted there) to 524 (the first thing I posted there) (the most recent) [because it is easier for me to find the one you're asking for that way], and I'll tell you three things I currently like about it.
Female characters meme, quick take
May. 20th, 2013 01:41 pmlonesparkSo, elliemurasaki is doing this awesome meme on female characters, that I also want to do and may start next month. But right now I'm going to try to hit all the points before I have to leave for more errands:
Day One: Favorite female lead character.
Aaaargh. It depends on who you consider a lead? Although, screw it, Aoi from The Burning City in the Spirit Binders series by Alaya Dawn Johnson, but when I answer this for real I'll probably choose one for every genre I can think of.
Day Two: Favorite supporting female character
Captain Yates from DS9. (I bet you are all shocked.)
Day Three: A female character you hated but grew to love
Hmmm. Lots. Ziyal (DS9) probably traveled the farthest.
Day Four: A female character you relate to
A lot the ones I don't like? Daisy Buchanan (The Great Gatsby), she's probably the original example, from high school.
Day Five: Favorite female character on a male-driven show
Djaq on Robin Hood.
Day Six: Favorite female-driven show
Number #1 Ladies' Detective Agency! Xena as a runner up, at least for the first two seasons...
Day Seven: A female character that needs more screen time
ALL OF THEM. Ahem. I'm thinking this should go to someone whose interesting story just got stupidly dropped... Let's go with Lt. Damphousse from Space:Above and Beyond.
Day Eight: Favorite female character in a comedy show
Ahhhh frak. I should watch more comedy? That isn't Key and Peele?
Day Nine: Favorite female character in a drama show?
Pass for now. I don't watch that much drama.
Day Ten: Favorite female character in a scifi/supernatural show
Since that is mostly all I watch and read, there are too many choices and I must answer in depth at a later time.
Day Eleven: Favorite female character in a children’s show
Day Twelve: Favorite female character in a movie
Day Thirteen: Favorite female character in a book
See answers for Day Ten, and Day One...
Day Fourteen: Favorite older female character
Lin! Bei!Fong!
Day Fifteen: Favorite female character growth arc
Hmmmm. Well, I'm looking forward to Korra's...
Day Sixteen: Favorite mother character
Day Seventeen: Favorite warrior female character
Sooo many...
I really like female warriors and war leaders from societies where that isn't unusual, so let's go with Yeine Darr from N.K. Jemisin's The Hundred Thousand Kingdoms.
Day Eighteen: Favorite non-warrior female character
Need to think on this more, but I bet it'll be a scientist. Or Kasidy Yates again.
Although if Prime Minister Dihana from Crystal Rain by Tobias Buckell counts (she's involved in a war...as a political leader...) she might win from sheer force of awesome.
Day Nineteen: Favorite non-human female character
I'm sorry, I can't hear you over the sound of how awesome GLEE SHOTH is. (From N.K. Jemisin's The Kingdom of Gods)
Day Twenty: Favorite female antagonist
Probably Azula.
Also all the ladies who are maneuvering against each other in The Burning City: Akua, Lana, Nahoa,
Day Twenty-One: Favorite female character screwed over by canon
Day Twenty-Two: Favorite female character you love but everyone else hates
Day Twenty-Three: Favorite female platonic relationship
Day Twenty-Four: Favorite female romantic relationship
Definitely Jessaline and Eugenie from "The Effluent Engine" (N.K. Jemisin again!), but there are tons of runners-up from the excellent pair of Steam-Powered anthologies.
D'oh, ran out of time here...
TBC...
Day Twenty-Five: Favorite mother/daughter and/or sister relationship
Day Twenty-Six: Favorite classical female character (from pre-20th century literature or mythology or the like)
Day Twenty-Seven: A female character you have extensive personal canon for
Day Twenty-Eight: Favorite female writer (television, books, movies, etc.)
Day Twenty-Nine: A female-centric fic rec
Day Thirty: I'm gonna go with "Favorite female character you love from a show you don't like that much," and pick Dee from Battlestar Galactica.
Day One: Favorite female lead character.
Aaaargh. It depends on who you consider a lead? Although, screw it, Aoi from The Burning City in the Spirit Binders series by Alaya Dawn Johnson, but when I answer this for real I'll probably choose one for every genre I can think of.

21. What's your favorite thing about Dreamwidth?
I'm not sure the parameters of the question. I'm absolutely in love with 'reply to comments by email', though, it means I can participate in discussions I'm tracking while I'm at work!

I really do need to learn vidding;
May. 19th, 2013 11:20 amlonesparkother wise how will I get these ideas out of my head?
elliemurasaki may understand this more than others...
My current obsession is using country songs for vids in medievalish fandoms. Like, I wanted to make a Robin Hood vid with Sawyer Brown's "All These Years."
Then I followed a YouTube link to "Love, Me" and it brought back all the memories (I was such a fanatical Collin Raye fan all through high school...and I listened to nothing but country radio...and then I moved to town where that was the only radio they had...) But also my brain decided that's totally a (gender switched...I think) Aragorn/Arwen song.
ETA: There are a ton of sassy country chick songs that would be good for Marian vids. "Guys Do It All the Time," "Did I Shave My Legs For This?" "My Give a Damn's Busted..."

BELA. She shoulda been around for quite a while longer, she had a lot of potential, still does have if it ever occurs to Carver to bring her back as a demon.

20. Yes, but what are your thoughts on yaoi?
Why is that even a meme? It's just slash based on Japanese-origin media.

rainbowfic Moonlight 3, Moonrise; Antique Brass 14, I guess we can't even pretend to be normal, huh?
Notes: I think Charlotte's got it right. (I wonder if people will be able to tell what this comment is referring to.)
Angel dreams.
Four moons on the horizon. She can only see three, but she knows there is a fourth, in that logic that explains things in dreams. They are in the same place, and they are in a line, and they are circling each other, endlessly, endlessly.
Waxing crescent. Waning crescent. Full. Dark.
The moons come toward them. Her, and the three others by her side. (They are in the same place, and they are in a line, and they are circling each other, endlessly, endlessly.) The moons descend on them. The full moon descends on Angel, rests upon her head, falls into her, filling her with silver light.( Read more... )

May. 18th, 2013 08:47 pmelliemurasakiLeave a comment if you want to be on my filter for Angels of the Silences. If you don't have access to my locked entries, I'm probably happy to grant it. Angels is my novel in progress where four sisters, three of whom are nephilim, have to try to stop the apocalypse; I'm taking a lot of story elements from Supernatural and doing them in what I hope is an intersectional feminist manner. To start with, one of my protagonists is a biracial gynosexual genderqueer woman.
Here is the first post on that filter for after any of you who opt in get told you've been added.

[FANMIX 52] Spider-Man 2099 - Miguel O'Hara - Future Redacted

Fandom: Spider-Man (2099)
Subject: Miguel O'Hara
Title: Future [REDACTED]
Warnings: None
Notes: for the![[livejournal.com profile]](http://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-community.gif)
waywardmixes challenge #15 (Heroes & Villains). Spider-Man 2099 is a MARVEL COMIC title that premiered during the 1990's "extreme" era (aka, Dark age of Comics). A MARVEL 2099 title, Spider-Man 2099 followed the tale of a self-absorbed and arrogant scientist named Miguel O'Hara; a young man who is neither looking to avenge a dead relative or win the girl of his dreams, but ultimately wants to do right by the world with the use of his intellect and the accidental gift that made him Spider-Man after an experiment gone awry shakes him from his apathy and opens his eyes to his job's less than honorable intentions.
